Race Tip

SUGARFIRE (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 1. 75 lengths from the winner at the end of 7½f after being prominent at the turn. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HARRY'S BOY (5) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a long neck over 6½f at Scone. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Drawn out a bit but he looks sure to be in the mix. JASON DARREN (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 19 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 7f at Tamworth, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. COURSE OF ACTION (4) was a winner over 7f at Taree last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by half a length. Can figure in the finish.
